In a late push to convince Anderson to sign a multi-year extension, the Browns recently upped their offer to three years worth $20 million with $10 million guaranteed, a source told the Dispatch. A second source added there is late optimism that Anderson and the Browns could come to terms in the next day or so.

Fantasy Football Diehards Line:
The Browns have until Thursday afternoon to tender restricted free agents, and it will be Anderson's decision to accept Cleveland's three-year offer or take the highest one-year tender worth $2.562 million. The tender would require teams to give up a first- and third-round draft pick to sign Anderson, and there is speculation around the league that there aren't many suitors for that high a price, which could work in the Browns' favor. As Dispatch staffer James Walker points out, if no team has interest in giving up draft picks, Anderson would risk leaving as much as $17 million on the table by not accepting the Browns' latest pitch. Meanwhile, the Cleveland Plain Dealer is reporting an agreement could come as soon as today.
